Starfrit 93169 Rotato - Manual peeler

I got my Rotato in May of 1999 when I had a serious kitchen accident,(the only one in 40 + years of kitchen work. I couldn't get my left index finger wet for at least 6 weeks and had to apply daily dressings to boot. I was the only parent in a home with three kids. I needed to be able to peel potatoes and other foods for cooking and keep my finger out of the way. In the almost 11 years since I am only on my third blade. We use this about three times a week at a minimum. I have even peeled apples for apple pie. When I married my husband 10 years ago he thought it was hilariously silly that I had bought this thing. Two days ago when I cleaned out my kitchen he came in to make sure I didn't get rid of the Rotato. In fact, he wants me to buy another one for insurance that we will never be without. Obviously, my finger has healed and the initial reason for getting this is long past. I still use it since it works so well and so fast. My youngest, now 15, grew up using this and peeling potatoes for Mom. I let her use it without reservation. As for the reviewer who mentioned arthritis, you're dead on. My arthritic hands do not stiffen or weary even when prepping large Thanksgiving meals. It's a good, durable product and I didn't spend much on it.

Seems to be a good product, and this is not my first peeler of this type. The only problem we have with the peeler is the build up of peelings in the blade and they are somewhat difficult to clean out. Other than that we are well satisfied. Good product for the price.

I have an older peeler and love it using it all the time. So bought several of these online as gifts for Christmas. I was a little disappointed that the lever holding the potato, apple, etc. down is rather flimsy not like the older version.

I really loved my first one. It lasted for about 7 years. I replaced it with this one. It's heavier and easier to handle, however, the blade pops out very easily at the start of the peeling. I still think it's easier than peeling with a knife. I have broken both wrists so peeling with a knife is difficult. I would recommend this product for anyone who has arthritis or carpel tunnel.

My husband got this for me as a stocking stuffer. I was quite skeptical at first, it looked like a lot of trouble just to peel a potato! But I have to say, this is a fun way to peel potatoes, and makes quick work out of getting dinner on the table. I can't put peelings down my disposal, it clogs it every time! So I do the rotato on my island and feed the peel strip into the trash, so easy and quick. I am not usually a fan of kitchen tools that do only one specific job, but this is worth having.
